"Never stop trying to quit" is a good strategy for people to stop smoking (another bad habit I overcame many years ago) and I think it would apply here as well for all of us fighting these PMO demons.

Day 4. Went on a long walk after work. Had some urges today but remembering how I don’t want to fall back into that bad habit is keeping me motivated.

Day 6. No fap is helping me be more productive. Cleaned up my apartment, went for long walk and reading a new book.

Day 7 I hung out with some friends today watching the nfl playoffs and exercised this morning, building some momentum.

I made progress over 8 days of no fap than slipped up last night and relapsed. So on Day 1 again. I will take what I learned and apply that forward. One thing is to focus on my positive habits like writing and exercise.

Relapse happens to the best of us. Just gotta remember 3 things
1. If it were to happen again, make sure it's a conscientious choice, and not a complusive one.
2. Make sure to lengthen the gaps between lapses
3. Whenever temptation knocks on your door, think of it as a drug dealer, and say "No thank you". It'll usually leave within 15 mins if you go and involve yourself in something else interesting.
Cheers!

Don't be too hard on yourself, @FloridaWriter! When you say "back to day 1 of no fap" I don't think it is strictly day 1. Reflect on your past experiences, learn from then and see them as a foundation on what to build a long lasting streak.
It's difficult to get things right at the first attempt, but don't give up and keep on fighting!
Stay strong!

Relapsed on Day 8 last day of January after long 12 hour day at work. I’m going to focus on the habits that built my no fap steak and let go of bad habits. Disappointed in myself.

Today, I worked and I’m making some more goals to pursue.

I didn’t want to return until I l was ready to commit. I’m recommitting to my no fap journey. I’m going to build healthy hobbies.
